Episode Title: Labels, Lies, and Living Your Truth

In this raw, hilarious, and deeply relatable episode, we’re diving headfirst into the exhausting world of labels. If you’ve ever been called lazy, too much, blunt, or been told you’re overreacting, this one’s for you. Aimee shares the absurdity of being judged for punctuation (yes, punctuation), the frustration of being invalidated, and the emotional toll of constantly trying to prove your worth as a person with autism and ADHD.

We’ll unpack how these labels stick, how they create endless cycles of self-doubt, and why they’re more about other people’s discomfort than your truth. But it’s not all doom and gloom—Aimee uses her signature dark humour to turn the tables, challenge the labels, and remind you to throw them in the bin where they belong.

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel seen, empowered, and ready to own who you are—bluntness, passion, and all.
